Glastonbury forecast: ‘Good weather could last the whole weekend’

The Met Office have told NME that the festival will see 'a mix of sunshine and cloud'

The weather for next week’s Glastonbury festival looks set to be largely pleasant, according to the latest forecast.

Met Office spokeswoman Laura Young told NME that the festival will start off “warm and dry” but there will a possibility of showers on Saturday and Sunday. It seems likely that “good” weather will last for the entire event, which takes place on Worthy Farm over June 27-29. The gates to festival open on Wednesday June 25.

Young commented: “There are strong signs that it will be warm and dry on Thursday and Friday, with above average temperatures in the South-West. Nothing too heatwavey – a mix of sunshine and cloud. We’re not ruling out the potential for it to turn unsettled before the weekend: the high pressure might break on Saturday and Sunday, leading to showers, though the good weather could last the whole weekend.”
